3d plastic cards
Plastic cards are high impact business cards that are sure to attract attention. but also ideal for many other applications, such as loyalty cards, gift cards, calling cards, key cards, fundraising cards, ID cards, Hospital cards, advertising and promotion cards.
3d plastic cards are different than your run of the mill business cards. This business card contains different characteristics that are very appealing to many. They give you flexibility in the design and you can do different things that you want with your design.
Transparent, thin and thick plastic cards
Depending on people, your business cards can be transparent, thick or thin. The thick plastic business card has the same thickness as a credit card (30mil or .03 in thick). The thin plastic business card on the other hand has the same thickness as that of your regular paper business card (12mil or .012 in thick). Remember that clear and frosted cards are only available to business cards that are in the thicker plastics.
Thin plastic business cards are best used when you want business cards that are like your regular business cards but are with an extra edge – they can be used as membership card or a card that can be used such as a discount card. Thick plastic business card is best used for a more permanent, sturdy and reusable card.
This is some plastic business card options that you can use: metallic foil colors, barcoding, signature panels, magnetic strip, and scratch-off with pin numbering. Also, you should remember that your plastic cards are done at a standard 10 days with rush printing services that are not available. Always keep that in mind when planning to make this kind of business cards.
Magnetic business cards
Magnetic business cards can be done in black magnetic material or in a white one. These premium magnetic cards can be printed on square or rounded edges and the design is printed directly onto the white or black magnetic material for a smoother look.
Black magnetic can be printed on 23 mil magnetic materials or 19 mil magnetic materials. The 23 mil magnetic materials are thicker because this type of business card is printed on paper and laminating the image on to a magnetic material. However, you should remember that this is not the same as regular business cards with magnets stuck to the back.
Die cut
You can also maximize the die cutting services your printing company is offering. Think of different shapes and sizes that you can do to stand out. Pattern your cads to the product you are selling.
